What's going on?
Zhu Lunbin watched helplessly as Xiang Yu and the other War Souls were about to be swallowed up by the World-Destroying Thunder, secretly gloating with excitement.
At that critical moment, Zhang Yu, who was previously unknown, suddenly soared into the sky.
Nine-colored light burst forth from his body, forcefully blocking all the lightning!
How is that possible?
Zhu Wuyin's eyes widened, her pretty face turned deathly pale, filled with disbelief.
That was the world -World-Destroying Thunder unleashed by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment!
Zhang Yu was just a Mortal fortuitous opportunity, how could he possibly withstand such world-destroying power?
Zhang Qingyue and Meng Hai were completely stunned, standing there dumbfounded, their minds blank.
"That's... the complete Heavenly Dao Law?"
Having lived for tens of thousands of years and possessing extensive knowledge, Zhu Lunbin immediately sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from the colorful Order Chain above Zhang Yu's head.
Those were not Principle Fragments, but truly perfect Heavenly Dao Law, which, according to legend, could only be condensed by Unparalleled Realm Immortal!
His breathing quickened instantly, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.
But this greed was fleeting, and he forcibly suppressed it.
At this moment, he was severely injured, his True Immortal Dharma Form was shattered, and although Xiang Yu and the other War Souls were badly damaged by the lightning, they were still watching him intently.
He dared not make the slightest rash move.
"Walk!"
At this moment, a strong sense of unease welled up in Zhu Lunbin's heart; it was an intuition honed through years of life-and-death battles.
If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all!
Without hesitation, he flicked his sleeve, swept up Zhu Wuyin, Meng Hai, and Zhang Qingyue, and transformed into a streak of green light, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
After they left, Zhang Yu, wielding the complete Heavenly Dao Law, charged madly toward the Eye of Heavenly Punishment like a nine-colored meteor!
"The complete Heavenly Dao Law?"
A Void, ethereal voice emanated from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, carrying a hint of vicissitude and disbelief:
"Damn it... I haven't completely refined the Heavenly Dao of this world yet; most of my power is still fighting against the Heavenly Dao Will...!"
Zhang Yu ignored the warnings and poured all his power into the Order Chain, stabbing fiercely at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment!
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment trembled violently, unleashing endless lightning in an attempt to shatter the Order Chain.
However, when faced with the truly perfect Heavenly Dao Law, its attacks are like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly ineffective.
"Laugh--!"
The Order Chain, like a living thing, wrapped itself around the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, silently merging into it.
The next moment, the Heavenly Thunder suddenly disappeared, Eye of Heavenly Punishment struggled for a few breaths before slowly closing and vanishing into nothingness like a bubble.
Between heaven and earth, the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sunlight once again shone on the scorched earth.
"Is it over... is it over?"
Countless survivors stared blankly at the sky, tears mingling with dust streaming down their faces.
They knelt on the ground, looking around blankly.
In the distance, Xiang Yu landed slowly. Most of the War Souls, including Longqie or wounded, and their auras were all weakened.
"Someone catch me!"
Zhang Yu felt his body lighten instantly, as the Immortal Power that had been supporting him by the Heavenly Dao Law was instantly pulled away. He was like a stone that had been thrown down, falling straight to the ground.
In mid-air, Xiang Yu and Longqie stared in astonishment.
What's going on?
This powerful figure who just moments ago wielded the complete Heavenly Dao Law and sealed the Eye of Heavenly Punishment with a single blow... can't he fly?
The two exchanged a glance and looked at each other blankly.
Xiang Yu frowned, Longqie scratched his head, completely baffled by this move.
Zhang Lingyun, Ye Liushang, and the others were still in shock at Zhang Yu sealing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and hadn't reacted at all.
Zhang Yu's true form was only at the Great Grandmaster Cultivation; if he withdrew his Immortal Power, wouldn't he fall down?
Great Grandmaster... it seems they can't fly to begin with.
"Ouch—I'm so hurt!"
By the time they reacted, Zhang Yu had already landed face-first on the scorched earth with a loud "thud," a classic "dog-face-first" moment.
Fortunately, he Physical Body strong. Although he was dazed and disoriented from the fall, and his bones were almost broken, he at least didn't lose any limbs or die from the fall.
He grimaced as he got up, dusted himself off, Longqie complained to Xiang Yu and Long Ju, who were closest to him:
I did save you, didn't I?
How can you be so heartless and ungrateful?
"They just watched me fall and didn't even say a word to help?"
Xiang Yu and Longqie were taken aback by the question; the two unparalleled warriors were momentarily at a loss for words.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiang Yu finally managed to utter, "... Didn't you just say you could fly?"
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes:
"Look at my Cultivation! I'm a Great Grandmaster, how could I possibly fly?"
Longqie scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
Zhang Lingyun finally came to her senses and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What just happened was truly breathtaking, and also... hilarious.
Ye Liushang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and some couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But as he laughed, he remembered the World-Destroying Thunder from earlier, and his smile froze on his face.
Zhang Yu looked at the group of guys with varying expressions in front of him, sighed helplessly, rubbed his sore backside, and muttered:
"A bunch of ungrateful wretches, refusing to help someone in distress."
"Holy Emperor Majesty, the vessel you chose for this Rebellious Dao Seed Vessel... is somewhat different."
Xiang Yu suddenly spoke, his voice low and deep, yet like a pebble thrown precisely into Zhang Yu's heart, stirring up ripples.
This time?
Zhang Yu's brow twitched as he keenly grasped the key phrase; he seemed not to be the first "Rebellious Dao Seed Vessel."
The word "vessel" always carries a cold, utilitarian feel to him, which makes him feel inexplicably chilled.
The system didn't give Zhang Yu a chance to think it through; its somewhat electronic voice immediately boomed out, angrily confronting Xiang Yu:
"For countless millennia, you've remained unchanged, unable to resist attacking Confucianism rebel you see."
Xiang Yu wasn't annoyed; he simply replied directly, "The sight of those hypocritical, sanctimonious men makes my hands itch."
"Oh well, never mind."
The system let out a cryptic sigh, as if giving up on persuading a perpetually incorrigible friend.
"From now on, behave yourself and find a safe place to heal and recover."
Although this world is temporarily sealed off and no news can be obtained from the outside, the Confucianism school's influence here is deeply entrenched and cannot be ignored.
"I understand, I was reckless this time."
Xiang Yu's expression turned serious, and he solemnly declared, "Next, I will gather the Western Chu War Souls, find a place of extreme Yin, re-establish the Great Chu Dynasty, Heaven-Sacrificing Dao-Establishment, and build Supreme Divine Dynasty!"
"You want to establish Divine Dynasty?"
The system paused for a moment, then said, "... Very well, this is indeed a path to the Supreme Realm."
Upon receiving the system's almost serious reply, Xiang Yu nodded silently, then turned his battle-ready eyes, capable of changing the very heavens and earth, and focused them on Zhang Yu.
"Although you are the Rebellious Dao Seed Vessel, if your own strength is insufficient, even if you Human Race's lineage, I, Xiang Yu, will not recognize you."
He abruptly changed the subject, his tone revealing a rare hint of solemnity:
"However... considering that you saved my life today, if you ever encounter Dao Seed vessel of the Daoist race that tries to devour you, you can come to me, and I will repay this debt of gratitude."
"Devour?"
Zhang Yu's heart tightened, and he exclaimed, "What do you mean? What do you mean by being devoured by another Dao Seed vessel?"
Xiang Yu shook his head slightly and smiled:
Since you don't know yet, I won't say any more.
He paused, then spoke in a booming voice, each word striking Zhang Yu's heart:
"Take care of yourself."
If that day truly comes, Rebellious Dao Seed gather to vie for the throne of the Human Emperor, I can lend you my assistance once.
But remember—only once.
After saying this, Xiang Yu said no more.
With a wave of his hand, his figure, along with the Million Battle Souls behind him, retreated like a tide towards other Demon Grotto, disappearing into the horizon in an instant, leaving only turbulent winds and clouds.
The system gazed in the direction Xiang Yu had disappeared, then glanced at Zhang Yu, whose face was pale and who was clearly terrified by the word "devoured," and clicked its tongue in annoyance:
"You talk too much."
Zhang Yu finally realized what was happening and urgently asked:
"System, explain yourself clearly."
What exactly happened?
What do you mean I will be devoured by other Rebellious Dao Seed?
